And I charged [06680] your judges [08199] at that time [06256], saying [0559], Hear [08085] the causes between your brethren [0251], and judge [08199] righteously [06664] between every man [0376] and his brother [0251], and the stranger [01616] that is with him.
Ye shall not respect [05234] persons [06440] in judgment [04941]; but ye shall hear [08085] the small [06996] as well as the great [01419]; ye shall not be afraid [01481] of the face [06440] of man [0376]; for the judgment [04941] is God's [0430]: and the cause [01697] that is too hard [07185] for you, bring [07126] it unto me, and I will hear [08085] it.respect…: Heb. acknowledge faces
And the Lord [03068] heard [08085] the voice [06963] of your words [01697], and was wroth [07107], and sware [07650], saying [0559],
So I spake [01696] unto you; and ye would not hear [08085], but rebelled [04784] against the commandment [06310] of the Lord [03068], and went [05927] presumptuously [02102] up [05927] into the hill [02022].went…: Heb. ye were presumptuous, and went up
And ye returned [07725] and wept [01058] before [06440] the Lord [03068]; but the Lord [03068] would not hearken [08085] to your voice [06963], nor give ear [0238] unto you.
This day [03117] will I begin [02490] to put [05414] the dread [06343] of thee and the fear [03374] of thee upon the nations [05971] [06440] that are under the whole heaven [08064], who shall hear [08085] report [08088] of thee, and shall tremble [07264], and be in anguish [02342] because of thee [06440].
But the Lord [03068] was wroth [05674] with me for your sakes, and would not hear [08085] me: and the Lord [03068] said [0559] unto me, Let it suffice [07227] thee; speak [01696] no more [03254] unto me of this matter [01697].
Now therefore hearken [08085], O Israel [03478], unto the statutes [02706] and unto the judgments [04941], which I teach [03925] you, for to do [06213] them, that ye may live [02421], and go in [0935] and possess [03423] the land [0776] which the Lord [03068] God [0430] of your fathers [01] giveth [05414] you.
Keep [08104] therefore and do [06213] them; for this is your wisdom [02451] and your understanding [0998] in the sight [05869] of the nations [05971], which shall hear [08085] all these statutes [02706], and say [0559], Surely this great [01419] nation [01471] is a wise [02450] and understanding [0995] people [05971].
Specially the day [03117] that thou stoodest [05975] before [06440] the Lord [03068] thy God [0430] in Horeb [02722], when the Lord [03068] said [0559] unto me, Gather [06950] me the people [05971] together [06950], and I will make them hear [08085] my words [01697], that they may learn [03925] to fear [03372] me all the days [03117] that they shall live [02416] upon the earth [0127], and that they may teach [03925] their children [01121].
And the Lord [03068] spake [01696] unto you out of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784]: ye heard [08085] the voice [06963] of the words [01697], but saw [07200] no similitude [08544]; only [02108] ye heard a voice [06963].only…: Heb. save a voice
And there ye shall serve [05647] gods [0430], the work [04639] of men's [0120] hands [03027], wood [06086] and stone [068], which neither see [07200], nor hear [08085], nor eat [0398], nor smell [07306].
When thou art in tribulation [06862], and all these things [01697] are come [04672] upon thee, even in the latter [0319] days [03117], if thou turn [07725] to the Lord [03068] thy God [0430], and shalt be obedient [08085] unto his voice [06963];are…: Heb. have found thee
For ask [07592] now of the days [03117] that are past [07223], which were [01961] before [06440] thee, since the day [03117] that God [0430] created [01254] man [0120] upon the earth [0776], and ask from the one side [07097] of heaven [08064] unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great [01419] thing [01697] is, or hath been heard [08085] like it?
Did ever people [05971] hear [08085] the voice [06963] of God [0430] speaking out [01696] of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784], as thou hast heard [08085], and live [02421]?
Out of heaven [08064] he made thee to hear [08085] his voice [06963], that he might instruct [03256] thee: and upon earth [0776] he shewed [07200] thee his great [01419] fire [0784]; and thou heardest [08085] his words [01697] out of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784].
And Moses [04872] called [07121] all Israel [03478], and said [0559] unto them, Hear [08085], O Israel [03478], the statutes [02706] and judgments [04941] which I speak [01696] in your ears [0241] this day [03117], that ye may learn [03925] them, and keep [08104], and do [06213] them.keep…: Heb. keep to do them
And it came to pass, when ye heard [08085] the voice [06963] out of the midst [08432] of the darkness [02822], (for the mountain [02022] did burn [01197] with fire [0784],) that ye came near [07126] unto me, even all the heads [07218] of your tribes [07626], and your elders [02205];
And ye said [0559], Behold, the Lord [03068] our God [0430] hath shewed [07200] us his glory [03519] and his greatness [01433], and we have heard [08085] his voice [06963] out of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784]: we have seen [07200] this day [03117] that God [0430] doth talk [01696] with man [0120], and he liveth [02425].
Now therefore why should we die [04191]? for this great [01419] fire [0784] will consume [0398] us: if we hear [08085] the voice [06963] of the Lord [03068] our God [0430] any more [03254], then we shall die [04191].hear: Heb. add to hear
For who is there of all flesh [01320], that hath heard [08085] the voice [06963] of the living [02416] God [0430] speaking [01696] out of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784], as we have, and lived [02421]?
Go thou near [07126], and hear [08085] all that the Lord [03068] our God [0430] shall say [0559]: and speak [01696] thou unto us all that the Lord [03068] our God [0430] shall speak [01696] unto thee; and we will hear [08085] it, and do [06213] it.
And the Lord [03068] heard [08085] the voice [06963] of your words [01697], when ye spake [01696] unto me; and the Lord [03068] said [0559] unto me, I have heard [08085] the voice [06963] of the words [01697] of this people [05971], which they have spoken [01696] unto thee: they have well [03190] said all that they have spoken [01696].
Hear [08085] therefore, O Israel [03478], and observe [08104] to do [06213] it; that it may be well [03190] with thee, and that ye may increase [07235] mightily [03966], as the Lord [03068] God [0430] of thy fathers [01] hath promised [01696] thee, in the land [0776] that floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706].
Hear [08085], O Israel [03478]: The Lord [03068] our God [0430] is one [0259] Lord [03068]:
Wherefore it shall come to pass, if [06118] ye hearken [08085] to these judgments [04941], and keep [08104], and do [06213] them, that the Lord [03068] thy God [0430] shall keep [08104] unto thee the covenant [01285] and the mercy [02617] which he sware [07650] unto thy fathers [01]:if: Heb. because
As the nations [01471] which the Lord [03068] destroyeth [06] before your face [06440], so shall ye perish [06]; because [06118] ye would not be obedient [08085] unto the voice [06963] of the Lord [03068] your God [0430].
Hear [08085], O Israel [03478]: Thou art to pass over [05674] Jordan [03383] this day [03117], to go in [0935] to possess [03423] nations [01471] greater [01419] and mightier [06099] than thyself, cities [05892] great [01419] and fenced up [01219] to heaven [08064],
A people [05971] great [01419] and tall [07311], the children [01121] of the Anakims [06062], whom thou knowest [03045], and of whom thou hast heard [08085] say, Who can stand [03320] before [06440] the children [01121] of Anak [06061]!
For I was afraid [03025] of [06440] the anger [0639] and hot displeasure [02534], wherewith the Lord [03068] was wroth [07107] against you to destroy [08045] you. But the Lord [03068] hearkened [08085] unto me at that time [06471] also.
Likewise when the Lord [03068] sent [07971] you from Kadesh–barnea [06947], saying [0559], Go up [05927] and possess [03423] the land [0776] which I have given [05414] you; then ye rebelled [04784] against the commandment [06310] of the Lord [03068] your God [0430], and ye believed [0539] him not, nor hearkened [08085] to his voice [06963].
And I stayed [05975] in the mount [02022], according to the first [07223] time [03117], forty [0705] days [03117] and forty [0705] nights [03915]; and the Lord [03068] hearkened [08085] unto me at that time [06471] also, and the Lord [03068] would [014] not destroy [07843] thee.first…: or, former days
And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken [08085] diligently [08085] unto my commandments [04687] which I command [06680] you this day [03117], to love [0157] the Lord [03068] your God [0430], and to serve [05647] him with all your heart [03824] and with all your soul [05315],
A blessing [01293], if ye obey [08085] the commandments [04687] of the Lord [03068] your God [0430], which I command [06680] you this day [03117]:
And a curse [07045], if ye will not obey [08085] the commandments [04687] of the Lord [03068] your God [0430], but turn aside [05493] out of the way [01870] which I command [06680] you this day [03117], to go [03212] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430], which ye have not known [03045].
Observe [08104] and hear [08085] all these words [01697] which I command [06680] thee, that it may go well [03190] with thee, and with thy children [01121] after [0310] thee for [05704] ever [05769], when thou doest [06213] that which is good [02896] and right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the Lord [03068] thy God [0430].
Thou shalt not hearken [08085] unto the words [01697] of that prophet [05030], or that dreamer [02492] of dreams [02472]: for the Lord [03068] your God [0430] proveth [05254] you, to know [03045] whether ye [03426] love [0157] the Lord [03068] your God [0430] with all your heart [03824] and with all your soul [05315].
Ye shall walk [03212] after [0310] the Lord [03068] your God [0430], and fear [03372] him, and keep [08104] his commandments [04687], and obey [08085] his voice [06963], and ye shall serve [05647] him, and cleave [01692] unto him.
Thou shalt not consent [014] unto him, nor hearken [08085] unto him; neither shall thine eye [05869] pity [02347] him, neither shalt thou spare [02550], neither shalt thou conceal [03680] him:
And all Israel [03478] shall hear [08085], and fear [03372], and shall do [06213] no more [03254] any [01697] such wickedness [07451] as this is among [07130] you.
If thou shalt hear [08085] say in one [0259] of thy cities [05892], which the Lord [03068] thy God [0430] hath given [05414] thee to dwell [03427] there, saying [0559],
When thou shalt hearken [08085] to the voice [06963] of the Lord [03068] thy God [0430], to keep [08104] all his commandments [04687] which I command [06680] thee this day [03117], to do [06213] that which is right [03477] in the eyes [05869] of the Lord [03068] thy God [0430].
Only if thou carefully [08085] hearken [08085] unto the voice [06963] of the Lord [03068] thy God [0430], to observe [08104] to do [06213] all these commandments [04687] which I command [06680] thee this day [03117].
And it be told [05046] thee, and thou hast heard [08085] of it, and enquired [01875] diligently [03190], and, behold, it be true [0571], and the thing [01697] certain [03559], that such abomination [08441] is wrought [06213] in Israel [03478]:
And the man [0376] that will do [06213] presumptuously [02087], and will not hearken [08085] unto the priest [03548] that standeth [05975] to minister [08334] there before the Lord [03068] thy God [0430], or unto the judge [08199], even that man [0376] shall die [04191]: and thou shalt put away [01197] the evil [07451] from Israel [03478].and will…: Heb. not to hearken
And all the people [05971] shall hear [08085], and fear [03372], and do no more presumptuously [02102].
For these nations [01471], which thou shalt possess [03423], hearkened [08085] unto observers of times [06049], and unto diviners [07080]: but as for thee, the Lord [03068] thy God [0430] hath not suffered [05414] thee so to do.possess: or, inherit
The Lord [03068] thy God [0430] will raise up [06965] unto thee a Prophet [05030] from the midst [07130] of thee, of thy brethren [0251], like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken [08085];
According to all that thou desiredst [07592] of the Lord [03068] thy God [0430] in Horeb [02722] in the day [03117] of the assembly [06951], saying [0559], Let me not hear [08085] again [03254] the voice [06963] of the Lord [03068] my God [0430], neither let me see [07200] this great [01419] fire [0784] any more, that I die [04191] not.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever [0376] will not hearken [08085] unto my words [01697] which he shall speak [01696] in my name [08034], I will require [01875] it of him.
And those which remain [07604] shall hear [08085], and fear [03372], and shall henceforth [03254] commit [06213] no more any [01697] such evil [07451] among [07130] you.
And shall say [0559] unto them, Hear [08085], O Israel [03478], ye approach [07131] this day [03117] unto battle [04421] against your enemies [0341]: let not your hearts [03824] faint [07401], fear [03372] not, and do not tremble [02648], neither be ye terrified [06206] because [06440] of them;faint: Heb. be tendertremble: Heb. make haste
If a man [0376] have a stubborn [05637] and rebellious [04784] son [01121], which will not obey [08085] the voice [06963] of his father [01], or the voice [06963] of his mother [0517], and that, when they have chastened [03256] him, will not hearken [08085] unto them:
And they shall say [0559] unto the elders [02205] of his city [05892], This our son [01121] is stubborn [05637] and rebellious [04784], he will not obey [08085] our voice [06963]; he is a glutton [02151], and a drunkard [05433].
And all the men [0582] of his city [05892] shall stone [07275] him with stones [068], that he die [04191]: so shalt thou put [01197] evil [07451] away [01197] from among [07130] you; and all Israel [03478] shall hear [08085], and fear [03372].
Nevertheless the Lord [03068] thy God [0430] would [014] not hearken [08085] unto Balaam [01109]; but the Lord [03068] thy God [0430] turned [02015] the curse [07045] into a blessing [01293] unto thee, because the Lord [03068] thy God [0430] loved [0157] thee.
And when we cried [06817] unto the Lord [03068] God [0430] of our fathers [01], the Lord [03068] heard [08085] our voice [06963], and looked [07200] on our affliction [06040], and our labour [05999], and our oppression [03906]:
I have not eaten [0398] thereof in my mourning [0205], neither have I taken away [01197] ought thereof for any unclean [02931] use, nor given [05414] ought thereof for the dead [04191]: but I have hearkened [08085] to the voice [06963] of the Lord [03068] my God [0430], and have done [06213] according to all that thou hast commanded [06680] me.
Thou hast avouched [0559] the Lord [03068] this day [03117] to be thy God [0430], and to walk [03212] in his ways [01870], and to keep [08104] his statutes [02706], and his commandments [04687], and his judgments [04941], and to hearken [08085] unto his voice [06963]:
And Moses [04872] and the priests [03548] the Levites [03881] spake [01696] unto all Israel [03478], saying [0559], Take heed [05535], and hearken [08085], O Israel [03478]; this day [03117] thou art become [01961] the people [05971] of the Lord [03068] thy God [0430].
Thou shalt therefore obey [08085] the voice [06963] of the Lord [03068] thy God [0430], and do [06213] his commandments [04687] and his statutes [02706], which I command [06680] thee this day [03117].
And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken [08085] diligently [08085] unto the voice [06963] of the Lord [03068] thy God [0430], to observe [08104] and to do [06213] all his commandments [04687] which I command [06680] thee this day [03117], that the Lord [03068] thy God [0430] will set [05414] thee on high [05945] above all nations [01471] of the earth [0776]:
And all these blessings [01293] shall come [0935] on thee, and overtake [05381] thee, if thou shalt hearken [08085] unto the voice [06963] of the Lord [03068] thy God [0430].
And the Lord [03068] shall make [05414] thee the head [07218], and not the tail [02180]; and thou shalt be above only [04605], and thou shalt not be beneath [04295]; if that thou hearken [08085] unto the commandments [04687] of the Lord [03068] thy God [0430], which I command [06680] thee this day [03117], to observe [08104] and to do [06213] them:
But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken [08085] unto the voice [06963] of the Lord [03068] thy God [0430], to observe [08104] to do [06213] all his commandments [04687] and his statutes [02708] which I command [06680] thee this day [03117]; that all these curses [07045] shall come [0935] upon thee, and overtake [05381] thee:
Moreover all these curses [07045] shall come [0935] upon thee, and shall pursue [07291] thee, and overtake [05381] thee, till thou be destroyed [08045]; because thou hearkenedst [08085] not unto the voice [06963] of the Lord [03068] thy God [0430], to keep [08104] his commandments [04687] and his statutes [02708] which he commanded [06680] thee:
The Lord [03068] shall bring [05375] a nation [01471] against thee from far [07350], from the end [07097] of the earth [0776], as swift as the eagle [05404] flieth [01675]; a nation [01471] whose tongue [03956] thou shalt not understand [08085];understand: Heb. hear
